Peer-to-peer vs. Server

Mandu
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

I'm hoping to deploy a small invoice-writing application on an office LAN using a Filemaker's peer-to-peer sharing rather than a true server. The host computer will be largely dedicated to its role, running XP. There will be two or at most three guest computers accessing the host at any one time. Usage will be light.

I know very little about FMS. Could someone comment on what sort of problems I may encounter using p2p sharing that FMS is designed to overcome?

Thanks,

Chap

The opinions here may differ, but I don't see any problems with p2p for a small deployment. Of course you don't get all the benefits of server, but for small group setups, It works fine.

My last employer was too thrifty(Cheap!) to get the server version. We never had any performance issues.
